Welcome to Smart Grid Network™ — the first and fastest growing smart grid social network on the web!!
A smart grid enables more efficient, reliable and clean use of energy, by allowing electricity to be measured and controlled from the source of generation, through transmission and distribution, to consumption.
The goal of Smart Grid Network™ is to accelerate the pace of smart grid deployment by promoting dialog and information exchange among stakeholders and connecting interested consumers with solution providers. The site helps consumers understand how a smarter grid can empower them to better manage their energy usage and identify trusted solution providers. Solution providers, big companies and small startups alike, will be able to get the message out about their innovative solutions to interested customers around the globe.
Smart Grid Network™ has two components — information from authorized content providers on smart grid initiatives in a state or country and a Facebook-style social network allowing:
- Consumers, solution providers and enablers to communicate on issues of interest.
- Individuals to develop a network of trusted advisors for identifying and selecting smart grid solutions.
- Countries, states, and communities to highlight smart grid projects and attract best of class solutions suitable for their local requirements.
- Utilities to learn about their customers’ needs, expectations and demands; and inform customers of new offerings.
- Universities and research centers to highlight ongoing smart grid research and education programs.
- Solutions providers to advertise their products and services.
Smart Grid Network, Inc. launched this site on October 18, 2011, with a pilot test for Illinois and is now expanding to other states and countries.
